Among those present in the meeting were RSP leader Subhash Naskar, Morcha leader Harka Bahadur, leader of Congress in Legislative Assembly Mohammad Shorab, BJP MLA shamik Bhattacharya, SUCI’s tarun Naskar and representatives from the CPI and Forward Bloc. Apart from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Subrata Mukherjee, Arup Biswas, Partha Chatterjee and few other important ministers were present in Saturday’s meeting.
